Dieter Von Deurne and the Politics “Dieter Von Deurne and the Politics”

While Dieter Sermeus has been releasing many records in the past, with acts like Orange Black and The Go Find, this is the debut album of his new band, released on Morr Records. Dieter Von Deurne and The Politics offer a modern version of 90s guitar pop.

Témé Tan “Témé Tan”

Témé Tan got featured on beehype in October with his single “Coups de griffe“. Creating exotic and danceable tunes that can not perfectly be compared to anyone else’s music, this very talented artist has been paving the path for a beautiful career since 2009 or so, and is now picking the fruits of this hard work.

Girls In Hawaii “Nocturne”

Girls In Hawaii is one of those bands that always take their time to write, record and release new music. And every time it is worth the wait, as these guys have never made a disappointing album so far.

Therefore it doesn’t come as a surprise that “This Light” got some attention on beehype earlier in 2017, and that “Nocturne” scores well in this best of 2017 list.

Millionaire “Sciencing”

This album has been in coming for over ten years while Millionaire brain and founder Tim Vanhamel was enjoying himself in dEUS and quite a few other bands. He appeared on beehype when he contributed to “Puppy” by Magnus in 2014.

All we can say about “Sciencing” is that it was worth the wait. It adds many new elements and still offers the fans that genuine Millionaire sound they like so much at the same time.

Brutus “Burst”

“Burst” is arguably one of the heaviest Belgian albums from 2017 and undoubtedly one of the very best.

Driven by the fantastic singing and screaming of drummer/singer Stefanie Mannaerts, this band from Leuven blows you away with a unique combination of elements from about every loud style of music you can think of, from shoegaze to death metal.
